HFA 3-3 IG1

HFA came into this game knowing that a win for them would result in them overtaking IG1 to 5th spot and on the last game of the current season, they would have been confident of doing so. IG1 with a depleted squad were looking to see the season out in style. It was IG1 that started the brighter of the 2 teams and they eventually got a breakthrough when Captain Rajab hit a fierce drive into the bottom corner of the goal. This seemed to wake HFA up and within 5 minutes they were 2-1 ahead when a quick fire double from Yasin the league’s top scorer put them ahead. Chances went beckoning for both sides but the score remained 2-1 at the interval. The second half started and it was IG1 again on the front foot and they made the most of their chances as Jason went through on goal and smashed the ball into the net. 2-2 and the next goal would be crucial and it came for HFA, this time it was Kara beating his marker and scoring. As the game fizzled out and HFA looked as though they would be taking the 3 points, a long range effort from Mohammed changed things. Picking the ball up on the edge of the half way line, he drove at the HFA defence and unleashed a powerful effort into the top corner. 3-3 and with 1 minute to play it was all to play for. Unfortunately, that great strike was the last goal of the game and it finished 3-3. IG1 will be regrouping and hoping to come back stronger for the new season. HFA will be making some new signings and hoping to get closer to the top of the league again.

AC MILANO 2-2 POTENTIAL SQUAD

Potential Squad came into this game hoping to see the season out with a win after suffering a heavy defeat against top of the table Prohawks the week before. AC Milano have narrowingly lost plenty tight games this season and wanted to prove themselves against a quality Potential Squad side. The game started with Potential dominating play as they usually do against most teams but the fierce and solid defensive unit of Milano was proving hard to break down. With each attack of Potential been thwarted, Milano were countering and carving opportunities for themselves to score. On one such occasion, Milano went through on goal and Minhaz buried the ball into the net. 5 minutes later, the lead was doubled when Shoaib went through on goal. 2-0 and Potential were shocked. Although they had a few chances to score, they were held 2-0 at half time. After regrouping, Potential came out firing in the second half and pushing further numbers forward, they were rewarded with a goal when Azhad bamboozled his marker with a sharp turn and smashed the ball into the top corner. 2-1 and Potential were back in it. A couple of minutes later and the score was levelled when Sanad found some freedom on the edge of the box and slotted the ball home. With 10 minutes to go on the clock, you’d have thought they would’ve been more goals but as both teams tussled with each other and had countless chances to score, nothing came to fruition and it ended 2-2 on the night. A great game for the neutrals. Milano will want to strengthen further for the new season and hope to get closer to the top teams. Potential will be ruing a missed opportunity for this seasons title, having been in the top 2 for majority of the season but finishing 4th. They will be back next season and will definitely be one of the contenders for the title once again.
